Is my mother my friend? I would have to say, first of all she is my Mother, with a capital 'M'; she's something sacred to me. I love her dearly...yes, she is also a good friend, someone I can talk openly with if I want to.

Any woman can look her best if she feels good in her skin. It's not a question of clothes or makeup. It's how she sparkles.

The right hairstyle can make a plain woman beautiful and a beautiful woman unforgettable.

Hate is unfulfilled love.

I like to cook for my friends. It is an act of love because in cooking you can create so many plates and recipes, if you know how to - otherwise you make a mess - but I like it because it's like a ceremony. You cook for your friends and after, you drink wine and play cards.

I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself.

I'm a very shy person and I never tried to do theater.
